Blogspot works well enough for that, here's an example of how gifs and such look on it;

http://senorlariato.blogspot.co.uk/2013/04/ecw-hardcore-tv-episodes-001-002.html



Is this your indy wrestling re-watch? I'd pick a few of the bigger events from 2001 like the Super 8 and King of Indies tournaments, CZW's Best of the Best & Cage of Death, etc, cover them and then skip ahead to the start of 2002.

Thanks for that. That blogspot (is this google's 'blogger'?) does look nice and simple to use. It was for all wrestling. I've been watching whatever I've been able to get my hands on from the first Nitro onwards - so Raw, Nitro, Thunder, Smackdown, Heat, etc however, I wasn't really recapping any of it. Yet, I've been inspired by you and strobogo's antics to keep a record, as there doesn't really seem to be many out there - certainly not ones with nice gifs.

Also, I like your blog name.

It's so weird how none of the bone crunching Jakks era toys looked like any of the wrestlers. The faces were always so off. The Hasbro toys looked more legit.

Anyone listen to Stone Cold's new podcast? It sounds so much like something out of a GTA talk radio station it's unreal. Awesome all round.

Madison Eagles vs Jessicka Havoc is a HUGE match, definite potential to steal the show there, while Evie also has a big match on her hands, facing the ruthless Mercedes Martinez.

Of COURSE it'll steal the show, it's Havoc.

It is, it's just called "The Steve Austin Show". He's done four episodes so far including interviewing Shawn Michaels for the 2nd episode.

Great, I'll check that out.

I've just made a twitter account for Mr. Luchador and already some random wrestling fan has followed it. I have no idea.

- While the official buyrate is still months away from being released, early estimates for the WrestleMania 29 pay-per-view are coming in and they do not look good. Even though WWE stated publicly that they were confident that WM29 show would sell similarly to last year’s record-breaking show, the company substantially lowered their internal projections in days leading up to WrestleMania. According to one source, the WrestleMania 29 buyrate is “downright shocking.”

Pretty shitty thing to say. They go overboard with the mark comments. Ziggler just went down a notch for me.

Mock if old....

ORLANDO, Fla. — Standing alongside Florida Gov. Rick Scott, WWE COO Triple H announced the establishment of a state-of-the-art WWE Performance Center on Thursday. The 26,000-square-foot facility, scheduled to open in Orlando this summer, will provide a new home for WWE’s developmental system, NXT, and further increases the company’s presence in the Sunshine State, while also creating more than 100 high-wage jobs.

The top-line facility will house seven wrestling rings, a world-class gym, and high-tech production and edit suites that will help evolve WWE’s partnership with Full Sail University, whose students exclusively edit and produce weekly, internationally-broadcast installments of WWE NXT at the university’s Full Sail Live facility. The center will also offer a best-in-class sports medicine program that effectively turns the performance center into a home base of sorts for both active and developmental WWE talent to receive care.

Check back with WWE.com for more details on the announcement as the day progresses, including exclusive photos and videos of the momentous event.

Good going Hunter. That sounds like an excellent set-up for developmental. Now, if only he can convince Vince to retire...and then let someone convince him that if he's going to be an on-screen character, it should be as a heel. No one likes face, HHH, right?

I'd like one of those high paying jobs. Maybe I could be like Rob Naylor. He's living the dream. Working for WWE, but actually working for DUSTY FUCKING RHODES in NXT.

Eh, it's okay but I'd take Heel HHH any day.

Jean Paul Levesque could beat up HHH. Just watch this regal (not Regal) talent.

WWE needs to bring back the " spit spray" thing for some wrestler. It has been gone so long, even having the spray could be the basis for someones gimmick

Give it to Yoshi Tatsu or something. GIVE YOSHI ANYTHING
Click to expand...

I wish they would give Yoshi the chance to wrestle naturally rather than this "he's Asian, so he kicks a lot!" that even as a fan has made me not care about any of his matches.

I would also accept him randomly becoming a member of the Prime Time Players, because the image amuses me.

In a depressed mood that requires good wrestling to alleviate, this will do the trick to be sure.

Jazz vs Ivelisse specifically I'm looking forward to. I really do think Ivelisse can do so much more and present far better matches than she has been, and someone like Jazz can provide it in a match that has plenty of time like tonight.

So we're all in agreement that Emma is the best Diva in the WWE, right?
Click to expand...

Of active wrestlers (which discounts AJ, Natalya, etc)? Paige is the best, Emma's second best.

She busted out the Horns of Aries on NXT this week, and Paige pulled a better Texas Cloverleaf than Sheamus' to win her match the other week. Good stuff.
